1 Product Description

1.1 Variants and Their Use

METRAwin

90 calibration software is a multilingual Windows program for controlling various calibrators for

electrical quantities with the help of a PC, and for documenting calibration results.

The program is available in the following variants:

METRAwin

90-2

Calibration Software for the Following GOSSEN METRAWATT Process Calibrators:

METRACAL MC, METRAHIT CAL, METRAHIT 28C, METRAHIT 28C light and METRA

Hit 18C

These calibra

tors are used primarily for testing and calibrating electrical measuring

instruments and equipment in the field of process measuring and control technology.

They include the following functions: direct voltage simulator, current source and

sink, as well as

simulation of resistors and temperature sensors (thermocouples and

PTCs). The METRACAL MC and METRAHIT 28C versions also include a TRMS

multimeter (V, mA,

Ω, F, Hz, °C/°F). Thanks to inclusion of these multimeter

functions, or by incorporating a separate

METRAHit (in some cases written

METRAHIT) 18S, 28S, 29S, 30M, X

-TRA, EXTRA or ENERGY precision multimeter

with infrared interface into the calibration system, automated calibration of buffer

amplifiers,

temperature measuring transducers and the like can be performed.

The software executes interactive

(DIRECT operating mode) or sequence-

controlled

(TEST operating mode)

setup of the calibrator from the PC via an RS 232 port (with

the help of the BD232 or SI232

-II interface adapter) or a USB port (with the help of

the USB

-HIT or USB-XTRA interface adapter), automatic analysis of measured

values entered manually or read in from the multimeter via the port, and

documentation and archiving of calibration results in a calibration report.

Calibration procedures for

each respective calibration object can be generated and

tested with the program in an uncomplicated fashion. In the case of the METRAHIT

18C and 28C, procedures can also be transferred to the calibrator

’

s memory module,

from which they can be executed auto

nomously (without PC). Measured values (V,

mA) acquired by the METRAHIT 28C can be saved to memory automatically and

subsequently read out and displayed at a PC, and inserted into a calibration report.

METRAwin

90-F

Calibration Software for FLUKE D9100, 5100B, 5500A, 5520A and 5700A Multifunction

Calibrators

The above mentioned calibrators are used primarily for the calibration of indicating

measuring instruments such as multimeters, laboratory recorders, current clamps,

panel

-mount measuring instruments

etc., and include the various electrical quantities

required to this end. By incorporating a separate METRA

Hit (in some cases written

METRAHIT) 18S, 28S, 29S, 30M, X

-TRA, EXTRA or ENERGY precision multimeter

with infrared interface into the calibration sys

tem, automated calibration of buffer

amplifiers,

isolating transformers, measuring transducers and the like can be performed.

The software executes interactive

(DIREKT operating mode) or sequence-

controlled

(TEST operating mode)

setup of the calibrator from the PC via an IEEE488

interface, automatic analysis of measured values entered manually or read in from

the multimeter via an RS

232 port, and documentation and archiving of calibration

results in a calibration report. The program calculates the test uncertainty ratio (TUR)

for each calibration point based upon the calibrators

’ accuracy specifications which

are integrated into the software, or overall measuring uncertainty in accordance with

directive DKD

-3 (WECC 19-1990).

A calibration procedure for the

respective calibration object can be generated and

tested in an uncomplicated fashion. Tested calibration procedures for numerous

multimeters from our current and previous product spectrum are included with the

software.

METRAwin

90-FJ

Calibration and Adjusting Software for FLUKE D9100, 5100B, 5500A, 5520A and 5700A

Multifunction Calibrators

Above and beyond this, METRA

Hit 22-29S/M handheld multimeters can be

automatically adjusted via their infrared interface

with the METRAwin

90-FJ version

(suitable

calibrators: 5500A and 5520A). Type and function-specific adjusting

procedures required to this end are included with the software.

1.2 Common Features

measured value read in via the port

•

Outstanding flexibility with calibration signal correction (for

analog measured value

indicators, recorders etc.) by entering a displayed measured value with the

keyboard, or by querying the measured value from the multimeter via the port

•

ISO-9000 compliant calibration documentation as a standardized or user

configured report with all necessary entries regarding the calibration object and

the calibration system, as well as a tabular list of calibration values and associated

evaluations for each calibration point

•

Dynamic data transfer to report templates created by the user with Microsoft

Excel

™ or Microsoft

Word™ (e.g. with company logo)

•

Secure archiving of procedures to an external data storage medium

2 Installing, Registering and Uninstalling the Program

2.1 Installation

A Setup.exe file is included on the supplied CD ROM. The program is installed in dialog with the user by

executing this file. The installation directory and the program file folder can be selected as desired.

Note

METRAwin 90 software is available in a variety of versions for various calibrators. These

software variants can be instal

led to the same directory, as long as only the last digits of the

respective version numbers vary from each other (e.g. 4.04 and 4.01). However, the version

with the highest number must be installed last. The version number can be displayed by

clicking
